CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Tummy time is the best way for your baby to develop the strength in their neck, shoulders, arms and trunk that they need to roll, crawl and walk. Even very young infants can do tummy time, just place them on your chest in a semi-reclined position.

Detailed explanation-2: -On their tummies, babies will develop their ability to hold their head up, and strengthen the muscles needed for sitting, rolling and crawling. Often babies don’t like this position as it is hard for them to lift their head initially, and they often can’t see you when flat on the floor.

Detailed explanation-3: -Anything a child does to get from one spot to another is locomotion. Examples of gross motor skills in the locomotion category can include rolling, belly crawling, crawling on hands and knees, scooting, walking, running, climbing, leaping, jumping, and hopping.

Detailed explanation-4: -Limb movements are influenced by newborn reflexes, such as the startle reflex, which makes a baby throw out his or her arms and spread the fingers in response to a loud noise or other sudden, unexpected stimulus. By 6 weeks of age, newborn reflexes begin to fade and the baby’s strength and coordination improve.
